Dreaming To Be A Famous Photographer

[xycho_g]

If nakaplano... Di lang sa night shots but also when you know that you'll shoot in conditions that may need slow shutter speeds, or shooting with big lenses to help with balance and control shakiness, also when planning a serries of shots for panoramic stitching, and also when you like to be in the shot

 

whats a panoramic stitching? and whats an orton effect? (from the shutterbugs thread but no one answered)

 

meron pla akong balak, kasi plgi nlng ako gumagamit ng iso 100 na film..and hirap n hirap ako magshoot kapag ang onti ng light available. its either i use flash or dont shoot at all kasi the shutter speed my lightmeter asks is too slow to be handheld..and hirap din magpractice ng panning sometimes kasi plging underexposed ung sinasabi ng lightmeter...i cant uses 1/2000 to freeze the moving object.

 

should i start using iso 400 films pero ok lng b iso 400 kapag morning shots?.. and quoting arrow: "The advantage of shooting with a high ISO setting is that you can produce pictures even if light source is limited. The disadvantage is that pictures become grainy or noisy." any views about this?

 

and does 1/15 already needs a tripod? or kaya pa hawakan?

 

hopefully makapgupload ako ng pics ko for comments. may film scan pla na mura. hehe.

nabasa ko lng kanina that a panoramic photgraphy is a photo that includes the whole subject...so stitching means pagdidikitin ung series of panoramic shots to make it a whole pic?...tama ba?..

Using ISO 400 film wont be a problem for daylight shots as long as you've set the camera to use ISO 400 film so the camera can adjust accordingly. It only becomes an issue if you decide to blow up the photo to a very large size (i think around poster size) that the graininess of the film will be noticeable. But up to 8x10 size you won't notice it.

 

Before I got a digital camera, I was always using ISO 400 since I'd usually just order 4R or 5R prints, and I took indoor, sports and outdoor pictures most of the time. I was looking for ISO 800 and 1600 film before but it's expensive and hard to find. Only Fuji carried it, and only a very small number of stores sold it.

 

From experience with a film camera and a 1/15 shutter speed, I suggest you use a tripod already. Film is too expensive to waste. At least with a DSLR you can see right away if your hand shook while taking the shot.

ah ok..thanks dude! so i guess ill use iso 400 in a daily basis para mas madali... but ill still keep iso 100s for morning shoots...

1/15...depende kung gaano ka ka steady at kung meron kang puwedeng sandalan gaya ng nabanggit ni agxo3 previously.

 

Bro...yung ORTON effect, nag-bigay ng link si Niteowl on page 49 ng Shutterbugs thread.... pero heto ulit yung link for your reading ORTON EFFECT

 

As for Panoramic stitching, gaya ng sabi mo... pictures digitally joined together to form one big panoramic picture of a place or any subject that is wide... Below is an example of 7 pics stiched together (pic reduced to 1024x195 pixels to fit screen). The original stiched-up file was 14,129 x 2,698 pixels

 

Buda-Danube-Pest Panorama (Has not been refiend yet so some join areas are vissible)

wyvern: why do you need it? that's probably the first question you should answer. As I do not know what type of photography you are into.

 

Just a hobbyist, mostly nature, cityscape, some portraits. but i ditched the idea already, will save up for a dslr na lang.

if you guys have free time...pa comment sana sa mga pics ko...

The new ISO400 films should not have too much grain, especially the color films. What you see in color film really isn't grain anyway - the silver is completely replaced by dyes which clump in a totally different way and tend top have much finer structures than silver salts. The real restriction is in trying to blow up a 35mm negative (which is really only 24mm x 36mm) to or beyond the point where the grain (in b/w) or dye (in color) structures become evident. When that happens you begin to lose the tonal relationships in the image because the "grey" (or tone of color) you see is really NOT a true "grey" but really a bunch of small black dots (the grain) on a white field. Because of their small size, the eye integrates the area around the dots and what you see is the average brightness of the area. More dots (grain) means it will be darker.

 

How's the best way to see this effect more clearly? Look at a newspaper and take a look at the b/w pictures. Take a VERY CLOSE look. You will see that the greys are really made up of black dots on a white paper. In a newspaper or other commercially printed publication, the dots are in a regular array - evenly spaced. In film they're not. they are random. However, the effect is the same.

 

NOW look at an image printed on your home printer. Use a magnifier. You will see something similar, kinda between the newspaper and the film. Irregularly shaped dots like film grain, but a regular spacing and pattern like the newspaper. An ink jet printer can only put down a color of ink, not shades of that color. The various shades or tones are achieved by varying the size of the clumps of ink dots that are sprayed on to the paper. Also, note that your printer will have somewhere between 4 (for the lower priced printers) and 8 (for the high priced printers) inks. How then do they get ALL those wonderful colors? Well, they're made up of combinations of the various shades of the different inks. And now, we are straying into color science....and unless you're prepared to wade thorugh some math that's beyond algebra, we will stop here. And this is the end of the lecture for tonight. Nighty-night!

I just purchased my first DSLR a Nikon D40, I am starting to get to know this beauty. I will post some pics soon. Nikon users, any feedback on this camera? I hope i dont get any unwanted effects or unforseen problems.
